It was Philip Billing to the rescue at the Vitality Stadium as the Bournemouth midfielder's sensational 35-yard lob damned Burnley to an eighth defeat of the season and handed the Cherries their first Premier League victory in a deserved 2-1 win, but a record-breaking five-minute VAR check spoiled what should have been a high-octane end to the game.
Make no mistake both of these teams are strong candidates for relegation this season and for good reason.
Bournemouth had failed to win any of their nine league matches preceding Saturday's matchup, while any optimism from Burnley's dominant Championship promotion last season had quickly drained away.
